Indur Goklany

Indur Goklany previously worked for the Office of Policy Analysis of the U.S. Department of the Interior and is currently a Julian Simon Fellow at the conservative think tank, the Political Economy Research Center. He is also a speaker at Lindenwood Institute for the Study of Economics and the Environment, which sponsors "lectures from conservative thinkers on topics such as environmental protection through free-markets, the ineffectiveness of the Kyoto protocol and the faulty science of climate change, and the benefits of opening ANWR to drilling."

Goklany was a speaker at the International Conference on Climate Change (2009) hosted by the conservative think tank, the Heartland Institute. His presentation was titled, "Climate Change Impacts."

Goklany is a regular guest poster on Watts Up With That. It should also be noted that Goklany is active in rewriting the history of DDT and the measures to control malaria. This may well be part of an effort to make a revision of environmental legislation of the past, to discredit environmental measures of today, as suggested by Dr Naomi Oreskes in her book Merchants of Doubt.

Dr Indur Goklany is also a member of the Academic Advisory Council of the Global Warming Policy Foundation. Dr Goklany is also affiliated with the Exxon Funded thinktank the International Policy Network He is also co-editor of the Electronic Journal of Sustainable Development.
